Hassan shared with "SEE" one of her discoveries, the chicken and freekeh salad.

She swears by the recipe and describes it to be "a quick, simple salad" and "a whole meal that satisfies my taste buds".

Hassan recommends serving the salad with a light dressing and a drizzle of honey on top with fresh mint and coriander.

Ingredients:

One cup of freekeh was soaked in water for a couple of hours.

Half a kilo of chicken breast

100 grams of feta cheese

Fresh mint and coriander for garnish

Chicken seasoning:

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika

Dressing:

1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 tablespoon of honey

Directions:

In a medium-sized pan put the freekeh in water with a teaspoon of salt.

Bring to a boil and turn down to cook it for about 20 minutes or until it's just tender. Drain and leave it to cool down.

In a larger skillet add a tablespoon of vegetable oil season the chicken and grill it for about 3 minutes on each side.

Mix dressing ingredients very well and add them to warm freekeh. Then start mixing the meal.
